It's really a toss up between the two Johnnys for me.

I can't say until I see them both play in that same 1LW role.

Huberdeau has been more consistently top tier in production the last 4 seasons and neither has been outstanding in the POs, so I give the edge to Huberdeau on paper.

Both are offensive catalysts who employ different styles.

We'll see who does it better as Flame.

Overall the three additions win out over Tkachuk + Gaudreau + Gudbranson.

Weegar ultimately breaks the tie, whichever way you lean on the other players.

We should be different but better on the whole. The entertainment value might take a hit given the loss of Gaudreau's dynamic play driving style, but i think we'll pick up wins more often when it matters, including those against rivals. I think we will contain those teams better now and not get roped into their game/style nearly as easily. And that's because I just think Huby and Kadri are tougher customers and will drive play effectively regardless of which teams they are facing. I think they are the type of players to elevate vs heated rivals and not "cower" as Brad so aptly put it.

We need that.
